  • ADMINISTRATION OF TUMOR INFILTRATING LYMPHOCYTES WITH MEMBRANE BOUND INTERLEUKIN 15 TO TREAT CANCER
    Publication number: 20240131069
    Abstract: Provided herein are tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) engineered to express a membrane-bound interleukin 15 (mbIL15). The mbIL15 TILs can be expanded in vitro using a rapid expansion protocol without the use of exogenous interleukin 2 (IL2) and can be used in adoptive cell therapy without concomitant use of an exogenous cytokine such as IL2. The TIL can be further engineered such that the mbIL15 is operably linked to one or more drug responsive domains (DRDs), polypeptides that can regulate the abundance and/or activity of the IL15 upon binding of the DRD with a ligand. Also provided herein are components for making the modified TILs and methods for making and using the modified TILs.
    Type: Application
    Filed: November 2, 2023
    Publication date: April 25, 2024
    Applicant: OBSIDIAN THERAPEUTICS, INC.
    Inventors: Mithun Khattar, Shyamsundar Subramanian, Rachel Burga, Michelle Lynn Ols, Jan ter Meulen, Kyle Pedro, Jeremy Hatem Tchaicha
